SJRES104119th Congress
A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.
Sponsored By: Senator Kaine, Tim [D-VA]
In Committee
Summary
Directs removal of U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in or against Iran unless Congress authorizes the use of force. It would require the President to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran-related hostilities that lack a declaration of war or a specific statutory authorization, while preserving certain defensive authorities, intelligence sharing, and defensive support for allies.
Show full summary
- Service members and families: Signals a legal limit on Iran-focused combat deployments that lack congressional approval, which could change mission scope and timelines for units assigned to the region.
- Congress: Reaffirms Congress's sole power to declare war by conditioning continued hostilities with Iran on a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force.
- Allies and partners: Keeps authority to share intelligence with Israel and other nations and to provide defensive materiel and support against retaliatory attacks by Iran or its proxies.
- Executive branch: Preserves the President's ability to defend the United States and its personnel and facilities from attacks and to collect and analyze intelligence related to Iran threats.

Remove U.S. forces from Iran
If enacted, this bill would direct the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in or against Iran unless Congress has declared war or passed a specific authorization for use of force. The directive would take effect upon enactment and would be made under existing expedited procedures in 50 U.S.C. 1546a and Public Law 94-329. The bill would still allow the United States to defend itself or its personnel and facilities abroad. It would also still allow collecting and sharing intelligence about threats from Iran, including with Israel and other partners, and helping allies take defensive measures, including providing defensive equipment.
